I totally agree with you guys.  

I understand that in order to keep up with the new stuff we have to "suck it" up and wait until the day. It's fair enough that they are not able to provide us any ETA or SLA, but I think that a pretty good, decent waiting time is not over a week, or weeks in some cases. 

But as Charles said, since we are all volunteers (being a HAM is also a volunteer in our daily activities as hams) we could give a hand and help the community. I think that we are plenty which could spare 1hr from our daily time and help to filter the tickets, so the actual Administration of ARDC focuses on the important ones. 

But as long as our help is "not welcome" or not wanted, the only thing that we can do is wait. 

Tickets are escalated at some point, but with what scope? If the escalation email is just dismissed until the next one, which will end up the same and so on. 

Just thinking out loud what I'm seeing in almost 1 month (without a week) since the new portal is released.

Platitudes are nice and feel good, but proper planning would be better.
If we are all volunteers, then spread the knowledge and planning around
so that we can all make light work with many hands. In fact, that is what
the various coordinators already know how to do. Why were we not asked?
